G6YL Felton, Northumberland - 15th Nov 1930

 

An interesting QSL from G6YL (Barbara Dunn) to VK3BQ (Max Howden).

Barbara Dunn was England's first lady radio amateur (licensed on the 14th April 1927). She remained the country's only female transmitting amateur until 1932 when Nelly Corry (G2YL) obtained her amateur radio license.

The card reported the reception of VK3BQ over a distance of 10 480 miles / 16 865 km from Barbara Dunn's historical residence, Acton House, situated in Felton, Nothumberland.

(QSL card acquired from the estate of Max Howden).
